True, if you deny your team some frags you get less points.

any commander kills decrease your overall/end commander score, also if you (the commander) are capping a flag and there is a team mate with you, make sure you are only assisting because you won't get the 2 points whereas he/she will and that will help your score

But I like to see the bodies fly. And I love it when I get the rage chat when i've killed one person repeatedly with arty.

It does decrease the commander score a bit but what is important when you are commander is the win to get x2 points. So I'd rather drop artillery to help my team.

Yep, if you are desperate for comm points don't use arty when you are winning ;P

It is good fun to watch it fall though.

I use it to rain metal death on lone snipers usually anyway

I'm more concerned about winning than points anyway, especially as commander.

Someone who is scrapping every last point out of his team to up his commander score needs an arty strike on his house.

If you're going for score, resign commander and TK some PFC for *your* J-10 or Cobra.

wow, you are so funny and smart !!!!!.............gosh........go back to WoW.
artillery is to be used to help your team by cleaning the area so they can advance and CAP FLAGS (that means, more to commander score).

Except if your team is any good, they could kill all those enemies and still cap the flag; flag caps themselves give relatively few points. The game will last longer and everyone can score more. That was the point made by the OP.

I'm starting to see why everyone here seems to hate you.

Fighting commanders ftw

commanders who sit in one spot and sit at commander screen are about as useful as...
well grenade against a tank
there is application but no point tbh

and if theyre not?, like a bunch of medics shooting at armors or planes ? how many times have you see them changing to AT or SF to attack armors? very few, too many guys are for the heal/revive/resupply (they do kills in the proccess) but not care about winning the round.
Even if theyre a good squad, against a wall of nades, spray shooting and vehicles madness, they can be brought down, thats where arty comes in and saves the day. whats the point of arty ?, HELP YOUR TEAM.

I think for you is more important the points. For me is winning the round.

A fighting commander is good if he stays BEHIND front lines (like middle-long range sniper), and use his toys when needed and ASKED for.
a fighting commander that only uses his toys for himself or never uses them deserves to be kicked/banned.

btw,
a grenade does hurt an armor, but you need like 50 to blow it....

"The commander points are every point earned by a member of your team during your reign as commander divided by the total of living team members at the given time."

So if you kill enemies with artillery, then yes, you are taking away from your own score that could be earnt from your team killing said enemies. However, if you take out some infantry and a tank with that artillery strike, and your team cap the flag nearby, then you've immediatly helped on the way to winning the round = doubling your commander score for winning.
Its a fine balance, but thats not to say that you shouldnt drop artillery just for the sake of a few points...

I must be on the wrong servers then, because a lot of people go AT/Engineer to take out Tanks and APC's. Mind you, thats the name of the game outside city maps where that is probably (still) true.
